Is it expected that memcpy/memmove may sometimes (incorrectly) be passed
a negative value? (It would indeed turn up as a "large" size_t)
IMO, casting to long is suspicious.
There seem to be some two implicit assumptions.
1) size >= ULONG_MAX/2 is invalid input
2) casting a size >= ULONG_MAX/2 to long yields a negative value
1) seems reasonable because we can't copy more than half of memory to
the other half of memory. I suppose the constraint could be even tighter,
but it's not clear where to draw the line, especially when considering
32b vs 64b arches.
2) is implementation-defined, and gcc works "as expected" (clang too
probably) https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Integers-implementation.html
A comment might be warranted to explain the rationale.
Regards.
